Hello there recently brought a vauxhall corsa b sri 8v on a m platte (93)

that was when i got it ^^

then i fitted smoked side repeaters, my old headunit, headgunned the archs and some nice dice

Erm, she is a 1.4 litre Sri on a m plate with 160k miles on the clock, this worrys me abit prehaps i should get another engine and replace it, of course while the engine is out i would rebuild it and add some extra ponys in there

erm plans are..

number 1 get it though MOT next weeks i will be checking here and there for anything that might need replacing, i dont want it to fail

erm sort out my sound system i just received a dvd headunit and just ordered a seperate dvd player ( i foollishly thought it had a built in dvd player) possibly get new front speakers and all of that.

induction kit and exhaust, cav slabs or speedlines, tinted windows, t cutted, lowered 60mm and ill add more when i think.

Thanks for looking at my thread your more then welcome to post your views nothing to harsh though lol

cheers

UPDATE

i was driving alone and my handbrake and battery light would come on really dim turns out that the v belt had moved itself making it inside out

i put it back on the right way tightened it all up done it again, next door came and had a look reakon it was the wrong one they sold me (wilcos) and he gave me some random v belt, done the job but...

i think my bush in my alternator bracket (near the engine) has gone as the bracket is resting against the timing belt cover, a quick look at it and it looks like i have to take the timing gears off and everything just to get to it

not really sure how to go about this..

on a + note

just brought some smoked rear lights off my friend for 20 quid bargain! will post some pictures up off them, they wont be fitted yet as i have to wait till i get paid for coloured bulbs

hey i totally forgot about this thread!

car is in the garage atm having a new clutch will get it back today

and i have a new phone so better pictures

i got some rear lights of a mate for 20 quid the ones fitted in the picture.

they wernt smoked enough for me so i went and got some tint spray from wilco. Sprayed them out in the back garden and they came up very nice

also i have fitted smoked side repeaters these are dark enough so didnt have to do anything to them

also saved up big time and managed to get a dvd headunit which is so cool.

i also brought some 6 by 9's just so to have some back bass before i put my sub in there, i have my sub already just saving up for a amp and box.

also i have front compoments. jbl ones with seperate tweeter and cross over.

i will take some more pictures at a later date
